We are now listed in the Beta-Testers Section of the site as a game to sign up for as a beta tester. Still not sure about the selection process on this new system, but you can get your name on the list.

I can (grudgingly!) wait on the game, but I'd also love to help you guys if possible. I've been waiting *forever* for a platoon-level (best scale for this era IMHO) Cold War Gone Hot game. I've still got my ancient copies of Red Star/White Star and Mechwar '77 under my bed. So, what I'm saying is - I'm qualified lol. I've got literally every book I could find on Pact vs NATO from the mid-70's to '89. Currently reading "Red Thrust" by Steven Zaloga, which is great fun since it's entirely from the Pact point of view.

Anyway, shoot me a PM and let me know if/how I can help. People who are "into" this subject matter gotta stick together. :)

Everyone is working hard to get the game gold worthy for its rapidly approaching release window early next month. There is a small chance that the few bugs we are currently dealing with could knock us out of that window. If that happens we will let you all know. That is the reality of computer game development.

The manual draft from layout is in review and needs a couple edits. I can check with Erik and see if we can post a printer friendly version on the site ahead of the release. No guarantee. Everyone is crazy busy.

Looking somewhere between the 8th and the 10th. The gold master is done, but there was a glitch on the manual images sent from us (somewhere in doing them the resolution went from 300 dpi to 96dpi) and it may cause the boxed version to fall behind. I'll see if I can get a Status Monday from Matrix.

Price: Can't say. Matrix will put that up when the game releases per their standard operating procedures. I can say it will be less than other modern warfare game released in the last few weeks.
